I am a Creative Person


I am a creative person. I see my neighbor, my sister, brother, dog, cat, teacher, friend, relative, proximity bug do something with their abilities that seems to be satisfying them creatively and I want to do that too.

But I can’t. I mean..

I’m better than all of them. I can do this. I can do that. I’ve been honing my skills in my space for so long and my abilities are just technically more advanced than those around me. I have so much to give.

Well…. Who cares?

Hundreds and thousands sit with their abilities in their caves and think about getting out there. About putting a foot in the stream… And hundreds of thousands let these abilities go unseen, unfelt, unheard.

And.. that’s fine with me. If that’s okay with you.

So ask yourself. Do you care? Do you have an anxiety to do something and you really want people to know about it, hear about it.. feel it? If that’s the case than you have no other choice.

Get off your ass.

I always think about some of my habits. The ones that aren’t so great. A few drinks here, a few smokes there, a burger here, plate of fries there and I consider one thing..

If down the road when I’m 80 years old I will look back and regret this stuff because it’s taken a toll on my health than I shouldn’t be doing it.

This is the key to my moderation. Which no lie, can be misconstrued as anything but moderation at time to others, but for the most part I’ve been able to stay increasingly more disciplined as I age into my late 20s.

Now relate that, thanks Albert, to your art.

Think down the road when you’re in the middle of a Seniors Dodgeball game and your dentures pop out and sit smiling at you on the gymnasium floor.
Will you regret not doing something more with your art?

Don’t lose sleep over it now. You have every moment in the world to do what you want. You want to be a doctor? Then start the path. I say, you’ll get what you want or you’ll die trying. And bliss in the things that you love — as we all know..
Is just about the greatest thing that life has to offer.

    If you are creative, you can use this ability in everything you do: interaction with your friends; solving problems; planning things; making it through life; keeping on top of everything- your way…etc. You don’t always have to be doing some great work of art or symphony or wotnot, most of us need ways just to get through the day independently, with a spark of creativity to brighten and explore all possibilities and to circumnavigate dead ends, which a creative person never has to worry about! With a creative mind one can survive anything!

    Great to have you on board with input!

    I fully agree Jen, and thanks so much for adding this key point.

    The beauty of what you’re saying to me is, sometimes being creative in the small things is what leads to/produces the eventual great work :)

    Encouraging others to be creative, in any way, is awesome :D Your comment may help encourage us…

    Woo! Thanks! It was a piece of art I created a few years ago and never made much use of. Glad you like it.

    Wow! I feel so good after hearing this. I am a creative person, and everything I did, I was good at because I always realized ways to do them better and faster. But, I started thinking that maybe I am not good at everything I do because its too good to be true. Even when people said I was good at it. And I realized that creativity helped me put myself in other peoples shoes and realize what it feels for them and be empathetic so easily as well. The creativity makes me a really good visualizer. lol Now I feel like I can trust myself when I think I am good at something. Sorry bout the longpost, had ta get it aut!

    Creativity rocks, and it’s awesome to hear you embracing yours! You can totally trust yourself, and loved the longpost ;)

    Thanks for reading and the fantastic feedback!
